Retreatment of drug-sensitive relapses of pulmonary tuberculosis following chemotherapy with standard drugs

T Santha et al. Tubercle. 1976 Sep.

Abstract

Forty-four tuberculous patients who relapsed with strains sensitive to the initial drugs they had received, namely streptomycin and isoniazid, were retreated with the same drugs for a year. One died of tuberculosis, and two had treatment changed for unfavourable response. All the other 41 showed a bacteriological response, and all but one were culture-negative at 1 year or when last assessed.
